Situated in the friendly village of Oaksey, only 10 minutes from the Corinium town Cirencester, this really is a cosy cottage for a Cotswold break. Everyone that enters this cottage falls in love with it, it has a knack of making you feel at home.

AaThe downstairs living areas are all linked together with patio doors out onto the garden. Upstairs there is the master bedroom (with two further children's bedrooms which I am afraid are not for use) with the bathroom.
You will have access to the whole house apart from the two children's bedrooms.
I am afraid I will be away but I will ensure there is a contact who will be nearby if you need them and hopefully prior to your stay I will have been able to email all necessary information.

Oaksey is a friendly village with a village shop about 10 minutes walk away. Unfortunately the pub is currently closed but there is a wide variety of other pubs nearby.
There is a bus that runs through the village to nearby Malmesbury and Cirencester but the easiest form of transport is by car. Both towns are 10 minutes drive away with the majority of amenities catered for.
There is a minimum of a five night stay for this propertoy.

It was just like staying in a home from home and we had a wonderfully relaxing long weekend in the cottage. It was very snug and cosy, clean and a beautiful garden that was completely safe for the children and much larger than at first sight! The children loved the slide in particular. The cottage was very quiet in the really pretty village of Oaksey which is well located to many sightseeing spots in the Cotswolds. We visited Tetbury and the famous Abbey gardens at Malmesbury as well as the stunning village of Bibury. Would certainly come again and can recommend Street Cottage to anyone.

Secluded farm location well off the main road and nestled amongst wildflower meadows, perfect for dogs and their humans, delicious home-cooked organic food, easy access to great local walks and beautiful Cotswold villages, easy going hosts who love food, dogs, and the great outdoors!

A spacious double room in a cozy, cottage on a secluded farm, nestled in the Wiltshire countryside surrounded by meadows and with an apple orchard in the back yard (the listing says it's in Oaksey, but really it's about 2 miles outside of the village).
This quiet escape is a great base from which to explore the Cotswolds, or equally, a happy space in which to stay in and just "be".
Orchard Cottage is a great place if you like:
* Walking (the nearest public footpath is right outside my door)
* Birdwatching (I live on a bird refuge)
* Wildflowers (the farm has never been sprayed by pesticides so is home to acres of natural hay and wildflower meadows)
* Our four-legged canine friends - the surrounding meadows are a great place for dog walks
* Getting away from it all while still having the option to be technologically "connected" (I have WIFI, but no TV!)
* Good food made with quality organic ingredients (either made by me or sourced from the many great suppliers in the area)
* Sitting around a campfire - we have a brazier in the garden where you can have a wood fire to cook on or simply to sit at and relax around
* Feeling like you're really in the middle of nowhere - you'll be half a mile from a main road, and the cottage faces only a barn, an orchard, and meadows, so you won't be interrupted by people or traffic noise!
* Being surrounded by character (be it in the architecture of the building, the nature of the landscape, or in the vivid personalities of your hosts!)
* Spending time in a space that may be centuries old but still has all of the modern conveniences (WIFI, dishwasher, open plan, double glazing)
* Really old oak beams
The cottage is a converted barn originally built in the late 1700's with wonderful high ceilings and beautiful oak beams. This means you get old English charm with all of the modern conveniences. The place has also been fitted with double-glazed windows and good central heating so you'll always be warm (alas not always true of these old English cottages!).
NEWS FLASH! We have recently replaced the bedroom carpets and the rest of the cottage has new laminate flooring! Gotta love that fresh feeling!
The cottage is on a wildlife reserve, a great spot for hiking, cycling and all manner of water sports, from fishing to swimming to scuba diving. It's conveniently located to Cirencester, a cute little market town with an interesting Roman history, and other attractive Cotswold villages like Bourton on the Water, Castle Combe, Nailsworth, Lacock and Stroud. The nearest train station is Kemble, about 15 minutes away, where you can take a 1h20m train to London Paddington if you fancy a day out in the city. Similar trains go to Bristol, Bath and beyond.
The space includes a shared bathroom (with a great shower), kitchen (fully kitted out) and a huge garden with a great gas grill for barbecues and a brazier for an open fire.
You'll be staying at the home of Monica and Andrew, both enthusiastic about food and the great outdoors. We love cooking so you needn't ever go hungry. Your stay includes a help-yourself breakfast of homemade bread, butter, jam, fresh fruit, muesli, coffee, tea and milk. We can also arrange to have other ingredients on hand by prior arrangement.
You are, of course, welcome to dine out, and there are some fabulous restaurants and pubs nearby. Or cook your own food in my kitchen, which is well-equipped with some great gadgets and you're welcome to use the basic supplies like salt, pepper, olive oil and spices.
If you need transport, groceries or anything else, just let us know ahead of time and we'll work something out at a mutually acceptable price.
Being big fans of walking and the outdoors, Andrew and Monica can advise on some great local walks in the area.
Your 3rd host is a young spunky terrier named Lucky. He's part of the family so please if you're not into dogs, do consider booking elsewhere. On the flip side, we LOVE dogs and happily welcome guests with their own four legged friends. Unfortunately we cannot allow cats (my cottage is in a bird sanctuary - no cats allowed!).
You will have access to your own bedroom plus a shared bathroom, kitchen, and living space, as well as the garden. Monica and Andrew have a separate office / bedroom which is the only area that is off limits.
We love to meet our guests and are usually around but on the weekends we do sometimes go away on adventures of our own. If we are away we will always make sure you are provided for with the necessary information, food, keys, etc.

There is plenty of parking right outside the cottage. You really do need a car here as I am quite off the beaten path and there is no convenient public transit.

Monica was lovely - very flexible about a last-minute change of plans, prompt and responsible in communication, and clearly a kind individual. We loved staying in her house: huge bed and good shower, justifiably famous selection of delicious and unusual jams. Beautiful location, especially in early summer. Highly recommend!

FredericaJune 2015

The location is beautiful. Secluded is an accurate description; the birds, cows and sheep are the closest neighbors. The wild flower meadows are particularly spectacular at this time of year - a must for anyone interested in botany or beautiful things in general. We were made to feel very welcome and appreciated the advice on activities. Bonus points for fresh bread and really great jam!

Monica was so accommodating, considering it was all VERY last minute. She made my boyfriend and i feel very comfortable, along with the very comforting aroma of baking bread from the kitchen all ready for breakfast (which was absolutely delicious along with a dozen home made jams to choose from. YUM.) We just stayed for one night, but we would absolutely return. We felt like we were home from home. 10 out of 10.

CharlotteMay 2015

I really recommend staying at Monica's wonderful Orchid cottage to anyone looking for some piece, tranquillity, good food and amazing countryside. We spent there 3 days during the Easter weekend, and although we only had a chance to meet Monica upon our departure, she perfectly coordinated our stay via email/phone, and helped out with everything we needed, so that we didn't encounter any problems at all. She left us a very tasty home made bread and and a selection of jams, which we enjoyed very much. Location is perfect to explore beautiful villages of Cotswolds, but the cottage itself is conveniently located in a farm, so nothing but birds and sheep will disturb the silence :) Thanks so much!

We had a lovely stay thanks to Julie! The stables were very cosy and relaxing. The extra touches made the stay even more special. Great value for money and perfect location! Thank you!

DarrylNovember 2016

The converted stable is a beautiful spot for a weekend break. It all felt very private and its kitted out with everything you'd need to settle in for a relaxing stay. Julie herself went far above and beyond to make sure our trip was perfect from start to finish including decorating the room with balloons and flowers as it was my wife's birthday. She provided plenty of recommendations for the local area and even drove us into Cirencester on our first night to save us a cab fare. All in all couldn't have asked for more.

JamesAugust 2016

Great stay! Julie was very welcoming and explained all the amenities available. Bread, milk, jam and crumpets were a nice touch and the annex was very clean. Great location to visit Cirencester and Stroud. Would stay again!

DanielOctober 2016

What a wonderful stay! Beautiful surroundings, very quiet, comfortable and clean. Julie and Duncan were so accommodating. They were very helpful with great recommendations and directions. They were kind enough to leave some bread, butter, jam, and coffee which was especially helpful since we got in late and could not get to the store. We would love to come back one day.

KristenOctober 2016

Julie responded quickly and was incredibly helpful especially given the very short notice we gave in our booking. We arrived late which Julie kindly accommodated, it was all very simple and very easy indeed. The studio is really lovely, with lots of care taken, the bed was very comfortable and the location stunning. A very nice stay indeed.

Victoria May 2016

The Stables was a great place to stay. It is a well equipped place with everything you could need. The kitchen was a great addition as it meant you could make a cooked breakfast each morning which is a real treat. Julie is really thoughtful and will try her best to make sure her guest are comfortable and we'll looked after. The location is peaceful but within easy reach of Cirencester to go out for meals of nip to the shops. This is a gem of a place.

MeganAugust 2016

We came to stay as we had a friends wedding reception to goto locally & loved the beautiful setting and quiet location. The house was comfy and cosy for all 4 of us with the bonus of table tennis each morning to keep the kids happy. The house was extremely well equipped and clean and we much preferred the stay here compared to a local hotel. Julie and family were very welcoming and helpful and We would definitely stay again & recommend it to anyone.

EllieAugust 2015

The Location was great and so was the view over the lake. The accommodation is spacious and has everything you need. The interior is however slightly dated, and the beds are lumpy. The jacuzzi spa, was something we were looking forward to, the water was unfortunately green, which indicates bacteria and therefore we did not use it.(health and safety) The host tried to explain to me that the chemicals made the spa green, (but have since discovered that this is indeed, bacteria) He then proceeded to tell us that the chemicals were under the stairs, frankly, I didn't sign up for a weekend away as the Pool Guy! The first floor shower leaked through to the dining room table. Overall it was ok, but felt disappointing, the place needs some work. Hopefully these problems will be sorted before the next guests.

We had a pleasant stay at Natalie's lakeside cottage. Natalie left us a beautiful fresh cake for our arrival which was really appreciated. We were visited by the white swans and their 5 cygnets each day which was a treat for us all. There was enough room for our group of 4 although the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms were a little tight. The road noise into those bedrooms was also a little loud for our liking. Overall though there was everything we needed and the deck and the view was great.

What a delightful weekend break! On arrival at the stable cottage the first thing which we noticed was the beautiful grounds in which it was located. Grace's property is picturesque; a stone drive with trees and fields leads up to the cottage, its quiet and looks like something out of home and garden magazine. We met Grace who was very warm and friendly, she gave us a quick tour of the cottage, explaining how things work and said we could explore the grounds at out leisure. The cottage was very clean and the kitchen was filled with all sorts of appliances - everything you need to cook a roast dinner! Grace had kindly left milk and water for us as well as condiments and freshly baked bread. We really enjoyed our time at the stable cottage and would highly recommend Grace's property to anyone else planning a break in the Cotswolds.

Nour El DeinJuly 2016

Grace was extremely welcoming and met us upon arrival and showed us around the really beautiful stable cottage. The cottage was excellently presented, clean, and warm. There was freshly baked bread, milk and a fully operational kitchen which was great for us as we love cooking. The main house and grounds are really breathtaking and we couldn't have asked for a nicer location for our anniversary break.

Set in the idyllic village of Hankerton. Adjacent priory and secluded spa offering massages and beauty treatments and beautiful gardens. Stand alone cottage with a double bedroom, living room, shower and a small kitchenette. Ample Parking.

The cottage is situated in a beautiful garden, very quiet and peaceful ideal for a getaway from the cities. Near the cottage you will find a small garden for your own use with a table and chairs under the apple tree where you can sit and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. In the grounds, there is also a beauty spa open all week called Lifestyle Health and Beauty, which has a the latest treatments.
We would like to encourage people who are working in the area to take our cottage as its near Swindon, Bath and not far from Bristol.
There is plenty of parking, and also a tennis court with racquets and balls available for use and a croquet lawn. There are many lovely walks around, interesting restaurants within walking distance and bicycles to borrow.
We have two very good pubs just up the road within walking distance for the energetic!

Hankerton is a small Cotswold village between Malmesbury and Tetbury. Swindon Bath and Cheltenham are near. Nearby Malmesbury is an historic town with a wonderful Abbey that you might wish to visit. You may also like to see the gardens tended by the celebrated naked gardeners next door! A little further, Tetbury has some wonderful antique shops and delicatessens to browse and the famous Highgrove Shop, which is well worth a visit. Within ten miles is the market town of Cirencester, which is at the heart of the Cotswolds and there are many shops and an interesting Roman museum. For water sports, one can enjoy an abundance of activities such as sailing, jet ski, kite surfing and fishing around the many lakes of the Cotswold Water Parks, a few miles away.
There are plenty of taxis but we would recommend providing your own transport. Trains run from Kemble station to London Paddington directly every two hours, and Kemble is five miles from the cottage. Your hostess could arrange transport to and from the station, and there is also a rental car business that will deliver to the station, if you so wish.
There are clothes washing facilities next door.

Rowena was a friendly and helpful host. The cottage was very well located in the Cotswolds with all the facilities you would need for a short stay. A beautiful setting. The walk and the restaurant that Rowena recommended were excellent. We would definitely recommend this accomodation. Thanks Rowena.

Helen was very easy going, checking in and out was made very simple and stress free. The cottage provides privacy as well as convenience for getting around the cotswolds given it's so close to Kemble train station. This is what air bnb is supposed to be like!

KennethSeptember 2016

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, great location to explore the surrounding areas. Very cosy and beautifully decorated, we were made to feel very comfortable too. Thanks again for having us.

BethanySeptember 2016

Helen has been a fantastic host; its is my first ever Airbnb experience, and Helen made it count. I highly recommend it for those who have anything to do with Cotswold Airport as its close by and easy to get from and to it. Thank you once again, Helen, for everything

A beautiful double bedroom with ensuite bathroom in our early 18th century farmhouse between Malmesbury and Cirencester. Wonderful walking, cycling and close to the Cotswold Lakes. Stabling for visiting horses.

A very comfortable double room in our early 18th century farmhouse with original beams and windows. We completely re-did the house 10 years ago to bring it up to the 21st century. The bedroom has an en suite bathroom with bath/hand shower and bidet.
Overlooking the beautiful garden, with a running steam it is extremely peaceful.
All our guests have commented on how comfortable the double bed is!
Guests will have access to our cosy beamed kitchen with Aga for their breakfast with views to gardens in front and behind the house.
If it's warm enough, you can have breakfast on the terrace overlooking the garden and the farm.
We have sheep, Kunekune pigs andyoung and resting racehorses as well as our own horses so will be at the house to cook a delicious English or Continental breakfast but otherwise are usually working on the farm.

This is a perfect location to visit Cirencester, Malmesbury, Tetbury, Cheltenham or Bath. The M4 is only 20mns away and you can be in London by car in an hour and a half or the train from Kemble is only 10mns away.
We are near the Cotswold Water Park which has many facilities. You can learn to sail, waterski, windsurf and canoe. There are bicycles to hire and many secure tracks around the lakes for the family and also excellent footpaths. And of course you can walk around our 55 hectare grass farm which has wildflower meadows and plenty of wildlife to enjoy.
Kemble Station is 15 minutes away. Because we are very rural here there are only a few daily buses to Malmesbury and Cirencester.
There are several pubs in the area worth visiting for lunch or dinner: The Wild Duck at Ewen, The Potting Shed at Crudwell and the Horse and Groom at Charlton. Our local pub, the White Hart in Ashton Keynes also does good pub grub. There are also many excellent eateries in Cirencester - Made by Bob, Sushi and the newly opened Cote.

We really enjoyed our stay with Alexandra and Tim. Their house and the grounds are just stunning, one can really feel lots of care and consideration has been put into both. Our room was really comfortable and full of charm. Breakfast was delicious. Alexandra and Tim made us feel really welcoming and gave us lots of information about the area, what to do, where to go. We really enjoyed our stay with them.

laraMay 2016

Alex and Tim gave us a lovely welcome upon our arrival! They greeted us with warm smiles and tea. Their home is absolutely beautiful and the surrounding land is breathtaking. The room was more spacious than in the photos and we had extremely peaceful nights. If you want to escape the city, want to breathe fresh air, relax and love animals, this is the place! Alex and Tim were also very accommodating to our dog Lucy. We did not feel like we were paying guests but more like staying at a friends’ home. Breakfast every morning was also delicious- fresh farm eggs, sausages and bacon. We would love to go back to the Tellings farm!

AlexiaApril 2015

A warm welcome from Alex and Tim and their dogs to myself and my own dogs, staying for the night to go to a party nearby; we were all made to feel equally at home. A lovely clean and comfortable room with lots of potions in the bathroom and a slap up breakfast with delicious local sausages cooked by Tim in the morning. An excellent way to start a chilly day!

CarolineNovember 2016

We had an amazing stay with Alexandra and Tim. The location is fabulous, and the house is a beautiful farmhouse, with antiques, paintings and photographs throughout the house, that give it a lof of charm. The room is spacious, with amazing views onto the countryside, very quiet, we had a really relaxing weekend there. The bathroom is spacious. Alexandra and Tim are amazing hosts, who made us feel very welcome, and cooked us an excellent english breakfast on the two mornings we spent in their house. They made several recommendations on the places to visit and restaurants to try. We couldn't have hoped for a more relaxing and interesting weekend, in absolutely outstanding surroundings. We will definitely recommend to our friends and will return!

SergioAugust 2015

Tim and Alexandra really looked after us and nothing was too much trouble. The house is beautiful and the room extremely comfortable. Tim served up a delicious breakfast at a time of our choosing while we all enjoyed talking about music, for which he has a real passion. This is a lovely environment to spend a night or two. We were on our way from Kent to Bristol, and with good access to the M4 it's an ideal stopover to break up a long journey with some Cotswold tranquility.

TonyJuly 2016

Alex was a great host and very welcoming. The room was spacious with an en suite, and perfect for our overnight stay. The house can only be described as beautiful, and in a lovely setting. We ate at the horse and groom pub which is 10 minutes away, and would recommend anyone to eat here. Alex served up a delicious fry up in the morning which set us up well for the day! We would definitely recommend staying here.

CharlieJuly 2016

Alexandra and Tim are very warm welcome to us. Tim also help us to put our heavy luggage room. One thing I'm very sorry that my wife is very afraid of dogs, need to ask Alexandra and Tim to shut their lovely dog in the room. This is a very old building.Alexandra and Tim decorated the house have a lot of time (URL HIDDEN) feels like it the appearance of the 17th century. Quiet room, sleep very comfortable. To make breakfast for us in the morning, Tim, as he told us the house, Alexandra and his own story. It feels perfect. 非常推荐中国人自驾COSTWOLDS的时候住在这里,这里离COSTWOLDS著名的景点都是30分钟内的车程。Alexandra需要经营自己的农场,会比较忙,但是她的男友Tim会给你非常好的服务,他在过去是在星级酒店工作作。这里是真正的乡村,住在这里能感受到英国乡村的宁静美丽。

A quiet haven in the middle of a charming village, four miles from Cirencester and on the edge of the Cotswold Water Park. Great centre for walking and exploring pretty villages and welcoming pubs, all manner of water sports, shopping in Cheltenham, Swindon, Bath or Oxford, racing, polo and Badminton.

A generous double bedroom, King sized bed, ensuite shower and lavatory. A desk and table lamp, small fridge, comfortable arm chair and a view over the lovely garden.
Occasionally we have an additional double bedroom free to rent. Please enquire.
Access through family front door and down corridor into guest bedroom.
Parking on drive way.

Quintessential English village - a rural retreat in the Cotswolds next door to the Cotswold Water Park. Cycling, sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, rallying, orienteering, fishing in and around the lakes. Bird watching and good walks along the banks of the infant River Thames which flows through the village.
Good shopping centres, games of polo, Badminton 3 day event and Fairford annual Air Show all within half an hour.
Bibury -the prettiest village in England (William Morris) and Roman Cirencester also near but there are dozens of exquisite villages with good pubs to explore.
Do remember limited mobile reception is part of the charm!
There are no street lights in Somerford Keynes so whereas it makes a perfect location for star gazing or seeing the ISS overhead, a torch is handy for finding the right house on a winter's evening.
Ideally you need your own transport to enjoy the Cotswolds. Buses are scarce, but always there as a last resort. Nearest train station is Kemble, 3 miles away and main line Swindon is 10 miles south. Cirencester is 4 miles away, Cheltenham about 20 miles, Oxford about 35, Bath approximately 25.
Our pricing is based on one adult occupancy although the bed is King size.
Therefore one person is £40 per night and an additional person an extra £20 making double occupancy £60 per night. Children under one year old are free, over that we will levy a small charge.
We do have another spare room occasionally, so please enquire if you need more space.
We offer breakfast to our guests, but not an evening meal. However there is a good pub in the village and several pubs and restaurants within five miles.

Lovely B&B in a lovely village. Diana made us feel most welcome & even came to pick us up when we arrived somewhat lost in the village from the Thames Path. She also booked us in for dinner at the local pub, which was also excellent. A good night's sleep, a lovely breakfast and a walk in her wonderful garden and we were all set for another day's walk. Diana exceeded all expectations by giving us a bag to pack some of our excess clothes in and Tony arranged a taxi later to send it on to our next accommodation. Extremely helpful hosts!

RogerJuly 2015

Diana and Tony made us feel very welcome in their home. The fact we had our own room and bathroom meant that we felt like we had our own space which was nice and luxurious. Both were able to recommend things to see and do in the area and the local pub had good food. Diana"s breakfast was great and we enjoyed looking around the garden, chatting with them and playing with the two dogs.

DanielJuly 2015

I booked Diana's room for my friend. My friend loved every minute of her 3 night stay with Diana. She was made to feel really welcome, had a stunning room and great breakfast. She also loved the village.

Absolutely wonderful stay with Diana and Tony. A beautiful home in the Cotswolds that I could not recommend enough. Lovely cosy room with extremely comfortable bed, tea making facilities in room, great shower ensuite and very clean. Diana and Tony were both extremely welcoming and accommodating. Diana's morning breakfasts are a treat too! I will be looking to book in again if I pass down that way. Thanks Diana and Tony!

NatashaMay 2015

Laura and Dries were very warm and welcoming. There was some food in the cabots, coffee, tea, cereals, milk, eggs, even wine in the fridge ! Laura gave me lot of local information as well and South Cerney is a beautiful village. The place was very clean, spacious, quiet and nicely decorated with lots of homely touches. I really felt at home. I will definitely recommend it.

NataliaMarch 2015

We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It was charming and spacious and an excellent value--the bed and bath very comfortable, the kitchen had all we needed-including some excellent bread and outstanding jam. There was music and movies and we mostly stayed in and relaxed and wandered around the village. Laura and Dries were very responsive to our queries and their restaurant recommendation of the Royal Oak was right on. We ate there twice! We would happily stay in the cottage again!

MichelleMay 2015

Laura and Dries were the perfect hosts. Laura was there to greet us and showed us around the cottage. She showed us the locations of some of the local attractions and places to dine. There was a variety of breakfast cereals available and we were also pleased to find a jar of homemade jam. A very comfortable and tidy place, highly recommended.

Lovely cottage, we really enjoyed our time there. It's in a nice village and well located in the Cotswolds. Thanks for having us.

ChrisNovember 2015

Like others who have stayed here, we could have done with more time. Lovely warm, comfortable space to stay and explore the region in winter. Laura and Dries were ideal hosts - when we arrived there was prosecco and birthday cake for my wife's birthday! We felt very relaxed after our few days here, our toddler had a large space to run around and all childrens channels. Nearby there are two fine pubs with adjoining restaurants, one of which is kid-friendly and a post office shop all within walking distance. Our hosts were very kind and we are not just saying that because we'd like to come back again some day and are looking for preferential treatment!

We had a really lovely week at Cygnet Lodge in October half term. Robert was a fantastic host. Prior to our arrival, he instantly answered any questions I had (both before and after booking). We were a little late arriving but Robert was very accommodating and if it irritated him, he certainly didn't show it! He gave us a quick but comprehensive tour of the house and its facilities and then left us to it reminding us to contact him if we had any issues. The house was lovely and bright, it was clean and fresh and very well kitted out. The bathrooms were great (showers nice and powerful with plenty of hot water!). The kitchen had every gadget known to man, and the welcome hamper was very welcome indeed. The swimming pool at the spa was great for the kids, especially as the weather wasn't too good. They also made good use of the Wii and the air hockey in the games room on the top floor of the house, plus we had a couple of family movie nights with the selection of DVDs Robert has there. Despite the rain, we had some good long walks around the nature trail and the local country side - The Bakers Arms hosted us a couple of times and was a definite hit. But by far our favourite meal was at the Ragged Cot at Minchinhampton - well worth the drive. We would happily return and next time would bring our bikes - it was so good we ended up staying an extra night. Thank you Robert for a lovely week.

RachelNovember 2015

Robert was brilliant at communication, we had a large group with lots of questions, so he was very patient with us. The place was amazing, the pictures don't do it credit. I would love to go back again and stay (without the kids!) as its a lovely peaceful site with the right amount of facilities to be comfortable but not too many to feel too commercial. Anyone interested in a weekend hideout would love this.

DanielSeptember 2016

fantastic holiday only regret is not staying longer. Robert the owner was very helpful with info about the place and surrounding areas, and directions and how to access the lodge were great. The lodge itself is amazing and set in a great location. The amenities were good and free to use. Inside the lodge there was nothing we needed the children had loads to play with and were very happy. There was a great welcome pack with snacks/milk and bread which was very well received after a long journey. In short brilliant place and great host

AmarJuly 2015

Rob was a great host, really helpful and recommended local places to eat and activities. Would definitely recommend and can't wait for our next stay!

ThaniaOctober 2015

My friends and I had a great stay in Somerford Keynes at Cygnet Lodge. Robert provided useful information about the lodge, estate and local area before and on our arrival. The lodge is in a lovely setting next to the water and was clean, spacious and enjoyable to stay in. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch! We used the spa on site and enjoyed the pool and steam/sauna rooms, although the facilities were very busy with families on a saturday afternoon. We also took a walkaround the nature trail once the weather had improved a little. One thing to bear in mind is that you can't use the canoes from the lodge if you are a visitor, so if you want to gomout on the lakes, you have to rent through another company, probably in advance. There are plenty of other things to do though. All in all, a great stay was had by all!

VictoriaJune 2016

Robert is a fantastic host. The house is impeccable and the estate is beautiful. Our stay was fantastic. The pictures do not do Cygnet Lodge justice - it is even more spacious and delightful!

RosieSeptember 2016

Absolutely amazing! The house is in a perfect location next to the water (waking up to the view was beautiful!), was lovely and spacious for our group of 10 including toddlers! Kitchen had everything and the welcome hamper was lovely(bread, milk...wine :)...just to get you through the afternoon). Clean and modern, it's just what you need. Checkin went smooth and Robert filled us in on everything we could do. Would definatly recommend hiring kayaks as the back of the house had direct access to the water, also if you have kids the miss mouse treasure hunt was brilliant (not suitable for pushchairs in bad/muddy weather) but had a laugh! Spa passes included so you can have a nice swim and relax, wish we stayed longer than 2 days as there is so much to do...we will definatly be returning! ️️Thankyou Robert :)

SamSeptember 2016

This place fitted our needs 100%. We just had two nights there meeting up with friends from around the globe who we shared a house with in The 1980s. The house was perfect. Worlds most comfortable mattresses and pillows! Every conceivable extra from a generous welcome hamper to a iPod speaker with adapters for different devices so we could play our music! Kitchen was so well stocked. Robert was there to greet us and show us around which was lovely. Swimming pools sauna and steam room were excellent and pristine. We were travelling with 4 cars and there was ample parking right outside the door. Lots of walks or just sit on the deck and watch the wildlife over the water. Pictures in the listing represent this property very well. Thanks Robert, we had such a great time.

Renovated to a very high standard, Cleveland House Barn is situated in the beautiful village of Ashton Keynes with the infant Thames running through it and surrounded by the Cotswold Water Park.
The location ideal for a relaxing stay in the Cotswolds, for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.
Great access to local pub, water sports amenities, walks and convenient for Cheltenham/Gloucester, Swindon, Oxford and Bath.
Double room and double sofa bed can accommodate up to four.

Set in a beautiful village in the heart of the Cotswold Water Parks, this is a very old and significant property in the village that has recently been renovated to a very high standard of comfort.
As our guest you will be able to park on the drive in front of Cleveland House Barn and also have access to the extensive garden and decking behind the property to catch the last few rays of sunshine.
Between my wife and I we speak English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German and a little Italian to help get you settled.

Ashton Keynes is a wonderful village, full of activity and yet close to loads of amenities in the Cotswold Water Park, or the lovely local town of Cirencester.
We are close to many very good roads and Kemble train station is only 15 minutes drive.
We have a dog (well, currently tiny puppy), two cats (who aren't too chuffed about the puppy) and four chickens.
If you want we can make arrangements for you to have your very own fresh eggs direct from the garden!

Amazing spot for our first Air B n B experience Wonderful hosts Beautiful village and apartment Would really reccomend this place and will hopefully be back again in the future

Excellent cosy cottage. Perfect for a short stay in the area. Beautiful conversion and look forward to returning soon!

Absolutely incredible stay, lovely area and the hosts were so welcoming. Shame we could only stay for one night. Would 100% recommend this gorgeous barn

Lovely accommodation and a great host. Very clean and cosy with many original barn style features. It does also have some luxury, modern touches, such as the shower / bathroom. The village itself is beautiful and very quiet with a nice local pub and picturesque walks. Would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely, relaxing stay at Neil and Jessica's Barn/ cottage. They were friendly & welcomed us with delicious chocolate cupcakes (yum!). They were very accommodating of our late check-in - we arrived at midnight! I must say the place certainly looks better than in the pictures. It's cosy and comfortable, modern while being spacious for two. And it's set in a beautiful, quiet village.

You’ll love my place because of the beautiful lakeside views and magnificent sunsets.

We are making our cherished weekend home available to rent for the first time since we had it built 4 years ago. We have spent many happy weekends and holidays there with family and friends but due to a change in our circumstances we are spending more time abroad and are not taking full advantage of the property.
Our home has been uniquely and beautifully furnished by a well regarded Spanish interior designer and would provide a relaxing and comfortable stay for families with up to 6 adults and 4 children. The accommodation is spread over 3 floors and consists of a large master bedroom with a super king size bed and ensuite bathroom, 2 double bedrooms with king size beds, 2 further bedrooms with 2 single beds in each, a second bathroom and large shower room. All of the bedrooms are fitted with electric black-out blinds to ensure a good 'siesta' during the day and of course night sleep.
The main living space is on the top floor and consists of an open plan kitchen with all mod cons, a spacious dining area with table to seat 10, comfortable seating area with TV and wood burning stove. The top floor is also fitted with electric blinds if the bright light becomes too much on a sunny day. The house has an east to west aspect - the front terrace on the top floor faces east and has a large outdoor dinning area and BBQ that overlooks the estate and waterways, and is perfectly situated for a sunshine breakfast and lunch. The rear terraces face west and have beautiful uninterrupted views across a large lake and woodland beyond.

Excellent accommodation with great views over the lake. David was an excellent host and always answered any questions in good time. Would definitely recommend if you want a quiet break somewhere. The swimming pool went down particularly well with our family. Considering it was the height of the season when we came, it was all remarkably quiet.

We had a really lovely weekend here at this charming cottage. Janey and Chuck and their family (plus the dog, cat and ducks!) could not have been more hospitable. The cottage is well-equipped and the bedrooms particularly comfortable and spacious. The local countryside is beautiful, an ideal spot for a relaxing getaway!

DavidAugust 2016

Janey was an absolutely wonderful host - unfortunately I did not get to meet her in person due to delays on the M4, but she welcomed the rest of my party and offered guidance on local eateries and a great short cut through their paddock. The accommodation was more spacious than expected and was superbly equipped. After spoiling ourselves at the Potting Shed on the Friday we opted to cook in on the Saturday and had every single utensil and cooking equipment needed! I would recommend to any one - such a great base for the Cotswolds!

We had a lovely time (EMAIL HIDDEN)fy beds, clean spacious rooms. Gracious hosts. All things that you would need for a pleasant holiday retreat. We particularly enjoyed the brownie and marmalade :-) nice tasty welcome gift :-) After coming back from the festival we slept very well indeed. In the morning I enjoyed seeing the family of woodpeckers outside, next to the pond. Highly recommended accommodation for visiting the area.

SusanneSeptember 2016
